Qi Ning was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Old Marquis, if there is really a commotion at that time, everything is as I said, and the imperial court is not ready for anything, it will definitely lead to more people being infected." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info This kind of epidemic virus is very rare, and it is also very powerful, at least no one has been able to detoxify it yet, old marquis, maybe you think it is alarmist, if one more person is infected, I am afraid it will be one more life. ”

Sima Lan put his hands on the stove to warm his hands, heard Qi Ning's words, raised his eyes slightly, and asked: "The old man will send someone to investigate this matter first, if it is indeed as you said, the old man will naturally make arrangements." But my Dachu can't withstand too much wind and waves, and Jianye Capital can't withstand the turmoil. ”

"Okay, since the old marquis said so, I have nothing to say." Qi Ning knew that he had said everything he needed to say, if Sima Lan really paid attention to this matter, it would never be possible to talk nonsense to himself here slowly, and arched his hand: "I'll leave first!" "Turn around and go.

Sima Lan's eyes were sharp, staring at Qi Ning's back, and did not stop Qi Ning from leaving.

Qi Ning had just walked on his front foot, and a person walked in from the outside, forty years old, with a stout body, a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked heroic.

"Dad, is what he said true or false?" The middle-aged man sat down on a chair next to him, "Epidemic infection? Hehe, I really haven't heard of anything like that. ”

"Do you think it's true or not?" Sima Lan leaned into the chair, wrapped her rather thin body in a black robe, her eyes were deep and thoughtful.

Middle-aged human: "Alarmist! Snorted coldly: "In my opinion, it's nothing more than that this kid has just inherited the title, and he thinks about making meritorious achievements, after Qi Jing's death, the flag of Jinyi Marquis is no longer as majestic as before, and this kid probably wants to restore his former majesty." I didn't know where I got the messy news, so I rushed to find my father. ”

"Oh?" Sima Lan was unfazed and calm.

"He wants to use his father to transfer troops, but it's really too tender." The middle-aged man showed a contemptuous smile on his face: "I heard that this kid was taken away and stimulated, so he opened his mind, which can be regarded as the Qi family has accumulated some virtues." Hehe, but it's still not smart enough, how can my father easily mobilize troops and horses because of the matter of chasing wind and shadows. ”

Sima Lan stared at the middle-aged man's eyes, and his voice was low: "But the old man thinks that what he said is not chasing after the wind, but that it is true." ”

The middle-aged man was stunned, his lips moved, but he couldn't speak.

"Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean you don't exist." Sima Lan's deep voice was slightly hoarse: "When you listen to someone, you don't look at his mouth, but at his eyes." The truth is true and false, and the eyes can see it completely. ”

The middle-aged man frowned and said, "Dad, are you saying that the capital is really going to break out of the epidemic?" In that case, why do you ......? ”

"You're asking why the old man didn't prepare to deal with it immediately?" Sima Lan glanced at the middle-aged man and said lightly: "Chang Shen, my father named you Chang Shen, do you know what it means?" ”

The middle-aged man said: "Dad has asked countless times, and my son naturally knows that he is always cautious, and he wants his son to be cautious no matter when and where." ”

"The old man has asked you countless times, just because he knows that you will not remember it." Sima Lan sneered, "The old man is already over the age of sixties, and his life is rare for seventy years, and in a few years, the old man will be in his old age, and whether he can live until that time depends on God's will." ”

The middle-aged man is naturally Sima Changshen, the son of the Loyal and Righteous Marquis, the corners of his eyes jumped slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Dad, you ...... And then you suddenly say what you do. ”

"The old man just wants you to know that after the old man dies, the Sima family will be borne by you." Sima Lan said slowly: "What the old man needs is an heir who can make the Sima family prosperous enough. ”

Sima Changshen opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't dare to speak.

"What Qi Ning said shouldn't be false." Sima Lan said slowly: "He said that the epidemic virus will break out soon, and the old man believes that it will really appear soon." ”

"In that case, why didn't you prepare early?" Sima Lan asked, "If it's really as Qi Ning said, I'm only afraid of ......!" ”

"Ready?" Sima Lan sneered, "Are you saying that the old man should mobilize troops and horses overnight, block the streets and alleys, and then wait for the outbreak of the epidemic to come?" ”

"Qi Ning is right in saying a word." Sima Chang said cautiously: "Before finding a way to detoxify, being infected by the epidemic virus is equivalent to losing your life. If we don't prepare early, when those infected people are all over the streets and alleys, attacking others like wild beasts, then more people will die, and we can minimize the damage by preparing early. ”

"The old man asked you, since it is poisoned, there is naturally a real culprit behind the poison, such a powerful epidemic poison is not something that ordinary people can make." Sima Lan's expression was gloomy: "Do you know who is poisoning behind your back?" ”

Sima Chang was stunned, of course he couldn't have known.

"The other party's purpose must be to let the epidemic spread in the capital, do you think that the other party is scheming, just to let some ordinary people be infected with the epidemic virus and die?" Sima Lan leaned back in his chair and shook his head: "This is absolutely impossible, he must have a deeper and more sinister purpose......!" ”

"Dad, what do you think...... What will be the purpose of the other party? ”

"The old man can't see it for the time being." Although Sima Lan is over sixty years old, her eyes are still shining: "But at this time, we can't mess with ourselves, and we must be more cautious." Sneered: "Who dares to guarantee that Qi Ning came tonight and didn't make a show in front of the old man?" ”

"Drama?" Sima Changshen was stunned and said, "Dad, you mean ......?" ”

"The old man has never underestimated the brocade family." Sima Chang said cautiously: "Even if it is a little doll, he is still the Marquis of Jinyi after all, and the old man must be careful every step." He glanced at Sima Changshen and said: "You have a sentence that is not wrong, after Qi Jing's death, the Marquis of Jinyi seems to be no longer beautiful, Qi Ning inherited the Marquis of Jinyi, so he naturally does not want to see the fall of the court, not only him, but also those who are involved with the Marquis of Jinyi, do not want to see the decline of the Marquis of Jinyi." ”

Sima Changshen obviously hadn't understood yet, and a trace of confusion crossed his eyes.

"Qi Ning came over and asked the old man to transfer troops, why did he rush at this time?" Sima Lan's eyes were shining, "In the middle of the night, after the palace was closed, there was such a big event, and it was necessary to transfer troops to deal with it, and it seemed natural for him to come to find the old man, but it was precisely this matter of course, but it made people suspicious." ”

Sima Changshen also seemed to understand, and said, "Dad is saying that he deliberately waited until the third watch in the middle of the night to come to you?" Yes, since he knows the news, why didn't he go to the emperor yesterday? But I had to delay it until the middle of the night to find my father. ”

"Since the old man is the minister of Tuogu and assists in the government, when the situation is critical, he can indeed mobilize the Tiger God Battalion, and even transfer the Black Knife Battalion to the capital." Sima Lan stroked his beard: "But this right is a double-sided blade, and if you are not careful, you will cut yourself." ”

Sima Changshen often followed the Zhongyi Hou, although he was not as scheming as the Zhongyi Hou, but he was not a stupid person, he quickly figured out the trick, and asked in a low voice: "Dad, is this the shadow of the old dog of the King of Huainan behind this?" ”

"The old man didn't say that, but the old man couldn't help but be on guard." Sima Lan sneered: "Don't forget, when Qi Jing was funeral, Xiao Zhang acted in a good scene of crying and mourning." ”

Sima Changshen was shocked and said, "Dad, could it be that Qi Ning actually colluded with that old dog?" ”

"As I said, you have to guard against everything." Sima Lan said: "Xiao Zhang is cunning and cunning, so you have to be more careful with him. If Qi Ning came tonight, with Xiao Zhang's shadow behind, then it must be a conspiracy. He sneered: "The previous transfer of troops and horses was just to keep the emperor from ascending the throne, but this time, if the old man easily transferred troops before the outbreak of the epidemic, do you think Xiao Zhang will miss this opportunity?" ”

Sima Changshen's expression also became cold: "That old dog will definitely let people impeach Dad, saying that you are arbitrary and unscrupulous, and even let people charge Dad with rebellion." ”

Sima Lan said: "It's good that you know this. Clasped his hands together and put them on his chest, "Of course, the old man is not afraid of their impeachment, but the old man doesn't want to cause this trouble." The court and the central government all know that the emperor ascended the throne, and our Sima family has made great contributions, and now is the time when our Sima family has unlimited scenery, but it is precisely at such a time that our Sima family must be low-key and cautious, and we must not easily let people catch the handle. ”

"I see." Sima Changshen understood: "Dad is worried that the transfer of troops at this time will make people think that our Sima family is empty-sighted, and the imperial court soldiers and horses are mobilized without authorization, and they are unscrupulous?" ”

Sima Lan showed a deep smile: "The old man has to walk quietly now, how can he move the troops?" Regardless of whether Qi Ning was acting or not, how could the old man cause trouble to the Sima family because of his words. ”

"But...... If what Qi Ning said is true, we are not prepared to transfer troops, once the epidemic virus breaks out, won't many more people die? Sima Chang said cautiously: "Dad, you have the right to enter the palace at any time, do you want to enter the palace overnight to see the emperor, with the emperor's holy decree, and then transfer troops to prepare, no one dares to say anything." ”

Sima Lan frowned and said, "I just praised you, why are you confused?" It is not the right of ordinary courtiers to meet the saint and transfer troops and horses at any time, and since the old man does not go to transfer troops, of course he cannot enter the palace overnight. These rights are all blades in the hands of the old man, and they must not be used lightly until the last resort. Leaning forward slightly, putting his hands on the stove, he said slowly: "The outbreak of the epidemic virus is nothing more than the death of some more people, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the capital, and thousands of children and eight hundred people have died, it is not a big deal, and there is nothing to worry about." When the epidemic really broke out, the old man asked for the transfer of troops, and everything was still in time. ”

Sima Changshen hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "What Dad said is, let's wait!" ”

"Remember, a small amount is not a gentleman, and it is not a husband who is not poisonous." Sima Lan stared at Sima Changshen's eyes, and said word by word: "Never let anything mess up your position, those who become great things will never be benevolent!" ”
